Chapter 130: Shaking Off the Black Pot

  Mentioning the Elf tribe, even the fearless and formidable Tuo Wu fell silent.

  If one were to find a race in this world that harbors the deepest hatred for humanity, it would not be the dragon race, nor the dwarf race, nor the demon race. The answer is unimaginable: the elf race.

  Dwarves are just naturally solitary and unwilling to interact with other races. They prefer to hide in the wilderness and hills, emerging only from their massive caves and tunnels. Dragons, of course, are the most superior and powerful beings, proudly dominating the continent's extremities. As for the goblins... who cares about these green rats that only know how to shriek "Orc Orc"?

  However. Ironically, it can even make the naturally kind and friendly spirit tribe hate to the bone. What humans have done is indeed despicable.

  It is said that the Elf tribe is a stubborn and almost dead race. On the mainland, there is a saying: if an elf dislikes you, it will dislike you until death; if an elf loves you, even if you insert a sword into its chest, it will still love you.

  Although this sentence is exaggerated, it reflects the stubbornness of the Chinese people to some extent.

  The Elf tribe's hostile attitude towards humans. There is a saying that originated from the most ancient era of the past. It is said that in the ancient era, humans made some kind of treacherous move against the Elf tribe, causing them to suffer huge losses. From then on, the relationship between humans and Elves was in a state of hostility. The hatred that had been built up since ancient times was never forgotten by the Elf tribe over millions of years - or rather, their dislike for humans had become one of their traditions. And they fundamentally did not change any of their traditional habits.

  Because we were yours from the start. So, although I don't know why, but because it's a tradition, I'll continue to hate you - this reason is somewhat... Of course. The Elf tribe isn't that stupid. There are many reasons for the Elf tribe to continue deepening their hostility towards humans.

  For example, humans destroying nature. Destroying forests. Demons and other races - these are the most heinous crimes of the elves who love nature.

  But more importantly, the slave trade among humans.

  The Elf tribe is a natural-born archer. The Elf tribe is a natural-born artist, the Elf tribe has a natural talent for magic. And in all of these halos, there is another characteristic: the Elf tribe is naturally beautiful.

  Beauty is the original sin of the spirit tribe.

  Furthermore, among humans, those decadent and corrupt aristocrats have a peculiar pursuit of beauty. The naturally weak and beautiful elves, full of exotic charm, became the favorite collectibles of these aristocrats.

  Yes, you haven't seen it as "a collectible".

  In the midst of the Elf tribe, regardless of gender, they are born with a beautiful and elegant appearance. The legendary Elf tribe is said to have every member being able to sing and dance, filled with the natural life-giving spirit. And it's precisely because of this that an Elf slave would become a highly sought-after commodity among the upper echelons of human society. A beautiful Elf maiden, once captured by humans, would immediately become a valuable commodity sold at exorbitant prices in the human market. Once becoming a human slave, the Elf's fate is sealed to be ravished by those brainless and lustful nobles or become a rare commodity, passed from one noble hand to another, ultimately becoming a plaything. Even if they bear offspring with humans, their beautiful appearance would usually continue to make them a plaything, their fate forever bound to this destiny.

  And because of this situation, a new race appeared on the mainland - "Half-Elf".

  The Elf tribe is strictly forbidden from intermarrying with other tribes. Therefore, the appearance of half-elves has also become a bare evidence of human sin.

  What infuriates the Elves the most is that many of the human nobles have a penchant for homosexuality. As a result, the targets of Elf slave trafficking are not limited to female Elves. Even male Elves cannot escape this disaster. Once a male Elf is captured, he will likely be bought by some noble and become a plaything.

  The Elf tribe is rare. Individuals are powerful, but their reproductive ability is low. Only next to the Dragon tribe. So every Elf slave on the market can sell for a price close to the sky. And such a high price has instead further ignited the enthusiasm of the slave traders to invest in the Elf slave trade movement. For thousands of years, countless slave-catching teams have fallen in the chaotic territory of the Elves' reproduction, and countless Elven blood and tears have paved the way for the slave traders' wealth. In history, this movement once reached a peak hundreds of years ago. Because of the huge "rich value" of Elf slaves, the Byzantine Empire and the Odin Empire once joined forces to form an alliance army to conquer the forest ocean where the Elves lived in the chaotic territory. The alliance army had more than 10,000 people, including Odin's Berserkers, Beast Soul Warriors, and the elite cavalry of the Byzantine Empire.

  That expedition ended in failure. Less than one-tenth of the 10,000 allied troops came out alive from the Forest Ocean. The vast majority were defeated by the tribal coalition of elves within the Forest Ocean. Most people died under the elven bows and arrows and natural magic. However, the remnants who escaped from that expedition also brought back hundreds of elven prisoners. Among them was a legendary beautiful elven woman who was taken by the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire at that time. Due to her stunning beauty, she was deeply favored by the emperor. She even gave birth to the imperial bloodline. However, due to her half-elven identity, she could not obtain a legitimate imperial status. In her youth, she was ordered by the emperor to be thrown into a well and drowned.

  And from then on, the angry elves made a declaration: humans became the most unwelcome beings in the elven community. Any human who dared to enter the Forest Sea would be expelled by the elves.

  It's no wonder that the naturally kind and gentle spirit tribe was driven to this state. It can be imagined how deep the sins committed by humans against the spirit tribe are. Compared with traditional spirits, black spirits are a new aberrant species derived from the spirit tribe.

  The Dark Elf tribe, also known as the Fallen Night Elves, are said to have abandoned their faith in the Elven gods. They discarded the traditional Elves' gentle and peaceful nature, loving harmony with nature. These Dark Elves are cunning, ruthless, greedy and poisonous. Because they abandoned their faith, the Night Elves were exiled by the Elven gods. Separated from the traditional Elven community, their skin turned black. They still retained the beauty and various talents of the Elven tribe but preferred to hide in the depths of the forest, ambushing various other races that passed through their territory - even including the Elven tribe itself.

  If we're talking about traditional elves

  The declaration posted was: Enter the Sea of Trees and be expelled.

  Then the dark elves would be even more thorough: any human who entered the Sea of Forest and was discovered by the Dark Elves would be pursued with all their might.

  Xia Ya, although born and raised in Wildfire Town, knew about the grudges between the Elves and humans. If this "Magic Kiss" was something else, even if it were in the territory of the Dwarves. Xia Ya believed that if she really risked her life to make a trip with her familiarity with the terrain of Wildfire Plains and being cautious. Adding a bit of luck, there might still be some hope — but as for the Elves' side, it would be better to just give up directly.

  He let out a sigh. He looked at the sorrowful face of Dororo. Shuya didn't say anything, he just gently patted the magician's shoulder.

  Bidaldo led the two to a tavern in the west of the city. It wasn't too far from the arena. As they walked into the tavern, the air inside was already filled with the smell of alcohol and burning tobacco. As soon as they entered, they heard a burst of loud laughter coming from inside.

  "Ge Li, what nonsense are you spouting? You say you want to challenge that guy Ya? Hahaha. That guy is a master who can even defeat Hastings!"

  "Really? You're that confident? Why don't you just go challenge Hastings directly?"

  "Hahaha. This guy must have drunk too much horse urine."

  "I think it's not that he drank too much horse urine, but rather that he has slept with many women. He thought that even a master like Hastings would be easy to deal with, just like women. Hahaha."

  In the midst of unbridled laughter, Xia Ya saw an old acquaintance. It was Ge Li, the white silver swordsman from Wang Cheng's Four Showy Ones, standing in front of a table with a furious expression. This handsome dimwit had a white silver cross-shaped sword by his side - but it wasn't the one that Xia Ya had chopped off on Wildfire Prairie. Ge Li's face turned beet red and purple as he was surrounded by jeers and laughter. Finally, he slammed his hand on the table and bellowed: "Shut up, all of you!"

  He swiftly drew out the silver cross sword. The sword was a high-quality item, and even in the dimly lit tavern, its blade still emitted a silvery glow. Ge Li wore top-grade rhinoceros leather and fine steel plate armor, with a long sword in his hand that shone with a cold light. He looked quite imposing, and the laughter from the others nearby weakened somewhat.

  "Hmph. You bunch of idiots. Just wait till I, Lord Garei, go and get that country bumpkin Shaya to kneel before me and acknowledge his defeat. Who among you dares to mock me, Lord Garei? Many people in this tavern know exactly how capable Lord Garei is. However, due to the influence of the Garei family, they don't dare push him further when he's clearly enraged. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet."

  Ge Lian looked around and saw that no one was speaking. He slapped the table loudly and shouted: "Bring wine!"

  The owner of the wine shop next door brought out a large wooden tray, filled with wooden cups full of strong liquor. Ge Li picked up a cup, tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp. His face immediately showed signs of intoxication, and he burst out laughing: "Good! I'll treat everyone to a round of drinks. Let's get drunk tonight. Tomorrow, we'll see if this young master will go find that country bumpkin Xia Ya."

  He finished speaking and whooshed down from the chair to under the table. The people in the tavern were stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing loudly.

  This Ge Li young master likes to show off, that's all. He went. No matter what. There is free wine to drink. That's the most important thing. A group of drunkards and down-and-out warriors rushed up to grab the wine cups on the table. Those who didn't grab any slapped the table hard, urging the boss to hurry up with the wine.

  Xia Ya walked into the noisy tavern, where he spotted Ge Li hiding under a table. He pushed through the crowd and pulled Ge Li out from under the table. Ge Li was already drunk and barely conscious. He opened his eyes slightly to look at Xia Ya, but didn't recognize him. Instead, he saw Bierdo standing next to Xia Ya and laughed, slurring his words: "Hey, our magician is here! Come on, let's drink together!"

  When Bidaldo walked in and saw Ge Zui like this, he was greatly disappointed.

  He deliberately brought Xia Ya here to take the opportunity to teach Xia Ya a lesson. This wine house gathered many drunkards from the imperial capital, most of whom were some down-and-out warriors. Ge Li's family was prominent and he was born with a fondness for martial arts, but his temperament was frivolous and impatient, unable to cultivate any high-level martial skills. Although his abilities were not impressive, he always liked to put on airs as if he were a master. He was a regular here, and the down-and-out warriors who hung out in this place all knew the temper of this young nobleman from a wealthy family. Occasionally, they would flatter him with their words to get some free drinks. However, Ge Li's relationships here were actually quite good. Bidaldo only planned to bring Xia Ya here, and as soon as Ge Li saw Xia Ya, he would immediately turn hostile and start fighting. At that time, all the down-and-out warriors in the wine house would stand on his side. This little thief was fierce, but after all, they had an absolute advantage in numbers. Could they not let him suffer a bit?

  As soon as he came, he saw that Ge Li's face was so swollen that it was unrecognizable. How could he still cause trouble?

  The warriors in the tavern recognized Ge Liu but not Bi Tatuo. These guys aren't fools. Who can't see that this Bi Tatuo magician is just a sycophant following Ge Liu around? Who really takes him seriously?

  Unable to take action. Bidaldo endured in his heart. He pulled Xia Ya and found a seat against the wall to sit down. Called over a few cups of wine.

  Xia Ya was drinking heavily, while Ge Li had already fallen asleep on Bidaldo's lap. The turtle seemed to be completely defenseless, simply drinking carelessly. In less than a moment, he had downed six cups. His alcohol tolerance was extremely high, and after drinking six cups of strong liquor, his face didn't change color at all. Not even a hint of redness appeared on his face. Instead, his eyes became increasingly sharp, constantly glancing around Bidaldo's body. Occasionally, he would smile with deep meaning, making Bidaldo feel uneasy and wonder what this fierce man was planning.

  Finally. When I drank the eighth cup of wine, a commotion was heard from the entrance of the tavern. A thick and rough voice came in: "You guys follow me to do what? All of you get back. I just came out to drink a couple of cups. Isn't that enough?"

  The door of the tavern was pushed open, and a majestic figure rushed in. He wore a leather breastplate on his upper body, with a giant battle-axe slung over his back. His wild red hair was tied up in dozens of small braids that swung behind him like whips. It was none other than Nigul, the giant from the Four Nobles of Wangcheng. The battle-axe behind him seemed to be a newly forged item. After bursting in, he shouted: "Geli, you scoundrel, are you here?"

  That thick voice. The dust on the lamp posts in the shaken tavern all fell down with a puff.

  But what surprised Xia was that after the giant Gur walked in, five more warriors wearing long robes followed closely behind him. One of them had gray hair that stood upright on his head like steel needles, making it seem as if he had a porcupine on his head from afar. He was of medium build and wore a cotton warrior's robe, but looked extremely spirited and full of vigor, just like a leopard. A sharkskin sword scabbard hung at his waist, with a long sword inserted into it, one hand grasping the hilt and the other behind his back, with a hint of sharp aura between his eyebrows.

  As soon as he saw this person, Xia Ya's heart skipped a beat: This is a ruthless character.

  This stern-looking warrior is cold and expressionless. Following behind Nigul, he doesn't say a word. Instead, the other warriors beside him speak in hushed tones: "Young master, you're grown up now. Wherever you go, we'll follow. If we fall half a step behind, we'll get beaten."

  "Gul glanced at them and said: 'You guys don't have to follow me. At worst, I'll take the blame for you.'"

  These warriors were obviously his family's guards. Hearing Nigul say this, they looked at each other with disbelieving expressions. Thinking to themselves: You are the young master. How could you possibly take our place in being punished? If someone is lost, who will be scolded and punished when we return?

  The room was dimly lit and crowded. Gule came in and shouted a few times, but no one saw Ge Li. However, the silent hedgehog-like person beside him suddenly narrowed his eyes and spotted Xia Ya sitting far away in the corner of the wall. Xia Ya was sizing up this person when he unexpectedly caught sight of him looking over. The two locked eyes, and for an instant, a spark flashed in the hedgehog-like person's eyes before disappearing, and he continued to follow Gule silently.

  Xia Ya's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The two of them locked eyes for an instant, and in that moment, Xia Ya felt his heart racing wildly. A formless pressure seemed to be exerting itself on his consciousness. In an instant, even the back of his shirt was drenched with sweat, and several times he almost couldn't help but reach out to grab his fire spear. The other person's gaze was like a physical blow, and Xia Ya even felt a faint stinging sensation in his eyes from just that casual glance.

  Such a powerful pressure. He had only vaguely felt this kind of feeling when facing Hastings before.

  Giant Nigul walked around the tavern in a circle. Here, Shaya finally made up his mind. Suddenly, he stood up with a "ding" sound. He roared and raised his hand to overturn the table in front of him. With a kick, the sturdy wooden table was shattered into pieces, and cups and water splashed out. Along with his loud roar, the tavern instantly fell silent, and countless eyes stared over from around them.

  Xia Ya snorted. Puffed out his chest. Placed his hands on his hips and shouted: "The Four Beauties of Wang City, a name that doesn't live up to reality. A clown who jumps around. A vain reputation..."

  He suddenly opened his mouth and shouted loudly. The sentence instantly spread throughout the venue. Everyone heard it clearly. The magician Bidalto was surprised, staring at Xia Ya with a look of astonishment. It's not clear what this guy is going crazy about. This old man, didn't you already know? Why are you shouting so loudly here again?

  Gul finally saw Xia Ya. The giant shouted "Ah" and his face changed drastically. He took down the giant axe behind him and pointed at Xia Ya: "Ah, it's you, you little thief..."

  Xia Yahahaha laughed. Showed off his momentum. Slightly raised his chin: "Isn't it me, Xia Ya? You still recognize me, huh? Not bad. I'm still the same old me. Still Xia Ya Lei Meng. Ha! Funny, funny. Just now when you came in, didn't that white-silver swordswoman from Wang City's Four Showy Sixteen say she wanted to challenge me? But when she saw me, she became a drunken cat. You people from Wang City's Four Showy are full of hot air. Dare to look down on me? Hmph! I'm from the North, and I've even defeated Black Sutin. And you few small fries think you can put me in your sights?"

  He said. Xia Ya took two steps forward, clenching his fists: "Hey, you four kings of Wangcheng can come at me with all your might."

  As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room suddenly changed their faces.

  Gul's eyes widened in surprise at running into Shaya, the jinx, here of all places. What was even more astonishing was that this guy was actually Shaya Raijin, the legendary one who had recently defeated Hastings and was on a roll?

  It wasn't just Nigel. Bidaldo was also stunned. Although the name of the turtle-like creature seemed to be called Shaya, there were many people with similar names. But he didn't expect that the little thief who had robbed him in the past would turn out to be the legendary master who had recently defeated Odin's Hestin?

  As for those drunkards and fallen warriors in the wine house next door, they were completely stunned.

  Xia Yaler? Is this kid Xia Yaler? That new rising expert?

  Damn it.Since you're a master who has even defeated Lancing, why did you come to challenge the four bums of Wangcheng?

  Aren't you afraid of losing face?

  Gul had some misgivings in her heart. She stared at Xia Ya, wanting to shout loudly to boost her own courage. But looking at Xia Ya's gaze, she felt a void in her heart. Unable to bear it, the words reached the tip of her tongue and changed: "You... you're Xia Ya Lei Ming? You... what did you come here for? Let me tell you, the Four Beauties of Wang City are not easy to mess with."

  "What are you guys doing? I heard that in the Imperial City, there are four young people who do things ridiculously. Their martial skills are only eighth-rate, but their bragging skills are first-rate. They even gave themselves a title called 'The Four Outstanding Ones of Wangcheng' to swindle and deceive others. I couldn't bear to watch this. As soon as I arrived in the Imperial City, I wanted to see the famous masters here, but before that, I'll start with you four."

  This remark made others even more suspicious: Do you want to see the famous masters of the Imperial City? Then go find those real masters. If you say you want to fight a few battles first to make a name for yourself, I'm afraid all the martial arts masters in the Imperial City will be turned upside down. Even if you count to one thousand, it's not worth mentioning this Wangcheng Four Showy. Who knows if this guy Xia Ya is brain-damaged or not. Where did he hear about the reputation of the Wangcheng Four Showy and then came running to make a name for himself?

  But this object. What you're looking for is a bit out of place, isn't it?

  "Cut the nonsense. Come on, come on. Let me see the martial arts masters of Tokyo."

  Xia Yahahaha laughed loudly. Da rushed over and randomly grabbed a chair in his hand, and after taking a few steps back, he forcefully smashed it towards Nigula: "A warrior's honor challenge. Outsiders are not allowed to intervene. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

  Xia Ya let out a loud roar. The chair flew onto Nigel's head. This giant finally had some skills. He raised his giant axe and with a "ka-chop" sound, the chair shattered into pieces. Wood chips flew everywhere.

  Gul was stunned. Seeing Xia Ya pounce in front of him, he suddenly remembered the scene on the Wildfire Prairie where this barbarian had easily uprooted a large tree with his bare hands. A chill ran down his spine and his first reaction was to drop his axe and turn around to flee. However, there were too many eyes watching him, and everyone in the tavern was staring at him.

  After all, he was not old and couldn't swallow his pride. He gritted his teeth and picked up the past.

  Xia Ya had already pulled out a fire fork and was about to use it. The fork fell. A few big steps brought him almost face to face with Gulu.

  The sharp-headed warrior beside Gūl originally had a glint of sharp energy in his eyes when Xia Yaqing was about to make a move. But when he saw that Xia Yaqing really made a move, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and reveal a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. Not only did he not step forward, but he even retreated two steps, stood with his hands behind his back against the wall.

  Xia Ya's fire axe fell. The point landed on Nie Gu's axe head, and Nie Gu's heart sank. Next, he could already predict his own outcome: being struck by this barbarian again, having his axe broken once more, and then flying out, wasting a smash on the ground. If he was lucky, at most one of his ribs would be broken.

  He was knocked out in front of everyone with just one punch. What a loss of face.

  Ke Duo really Huo Cha and war prisoners interact. Nigulu originally had some fear on his face suddenly changed. Stared at Xia Ya with wide eyes in surprise.

  "Barbarian?"

  Gul felt that the opponent's move was extremely strange. He had already made a perfect preparation, but as soon as he swung his axe, he felt that the opponent's fire fork was soft and fluffy, without any resistance. The fire fork and the axe collided, but instead of having any impact point, there was only a loud "boom" sound. Xia Ya suddenly jumped up and flew backwards, throwing Gul away.

  Gū'ěr originally looked very impressive. Xià Yǎ, on the other hand, seemed to be knocked flying by him with just a slight nudge. With a loud shout, Xià Yǎ crashed into the wall. The wall caved in from the impact, and large chunks of plaster fell off. After landing, Xià Yǎ shook his head, shouting: "So cool!"

  He immediately stepped up again.

  He unfolded the shadow sword technique he had just learned. His body swayed left and right, as if almost sticking to his own axe blade dancing - but falling into other people's eyes, it seemed that Xia Ya was being beaten under Nie Gu's fierce and unyielding axe wind, stumbling around.

  Finally. Just saw Xia Ya's fire fork again hit Nie Gu's axe head. Xia Ya's body shook violently, as if some extremely fierce and invisible force had struck him. The fire fork was lifted up and flew away. Xia Ya stumbled and fell to the side, knocking over several tables and spilling soup and wine all over his body. He picked up the fire fork again, retreated a few steps, and glared at Nie Gu with anger in his eyes, shouting loudly: "Ah! What fierce aura!"

  ？？

  Gul was completely bewildered.

  Inner energy? If I knew that sort of thing, would I have been beaten by you like that last time at Wildfire Prairie?

  Ke Xiaoya's face, which looked honest and sincere, suddenly showed a brilliant expression. In an instant, unwillingness, helplessness, anger, humiliation, and all sorts of expressions floated onto his face.

  Finally. Just saw Xia Ya stomp her foot and put away the fire fork with a swoosh. Her voice was hoarse, as if filled with endless sorrow. Her whole body was trembling. Her eyes stared fixedly at Nigula: "The Four Beauties of Wangcheng are indeed formidable. I concede defeat today. When I have the chance to practice my martial skills again, I'll come back to challenge the high moves of the Four Beauties of Wangcheng."

  After finishing speaking, Xia Yali loudly cleared his throat. He jumped onto a table and shouted: "I, Xia Yali, am not as skilled as others. A fair competition. I lost to the renowned Wang Cheng's Four Beauties. I, Xia Yali, admit defeat with humility."

  The sound went far and wide. Looking around, the sixteen or seventeen people who were fighting were just some onlookers in the tavern, drunkards, and fallen warriors. The sound was so loud that even passersby outside the door might have heard it.

  Huh? Me? Won?

  Gul's mind was still in a daze, but somehow he had "won" without knowing how. He put down his axe and stared at Xia Ya, blinking several times, still not understanding what had just happened. The fierce man who had beaten him up so badly last time had actually lost to him?

  He suddenly felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Could it be that his own strength had increased dramatically recently? And he didn't even realize it himself? But he wasn't a fool after all, and such wild thoughts only flashed through his mind for an instant before disappearing. He saw Xia Ya hastily jump down from the table, grab Duoduo who had come with him, and rush out the door as if afraid that Nie Gu would change his mind. As they ran, Xia Ya shouted repeatedly: "The four outstanding talents of Wangcheng are indeed extraordinary! I, Xia Ya Leiyin, have lost, and that's all there is to it!"

  With one breath, Dororo was pulled out of the gate. He flipped onto his horse. They ran for hundreds of meters on the street. Shuya turned around to look behind him and saw no one chasing after them. His heart couldn't help but feel relieved. Immediately afterwards, he let out a loud, evil laugh towards the sky.

  "Hahaha... Finally got rid of this black pot. Hahaha..." Xia Ya laughed loudly and said with a smile: "This time I'm really relieved. Wang Chengxiu is indeed a good person."

  Duoduo Luo's face was filled with a strange expression: "Master, you... what exactly do you mean?"

  Xia Ya looked at Duo Duo Luo and said: "Ah ha. You don't understand, do you? It's better if you don't understand. It's better if you don't understand, Duo Duo Luo. You just need to know that starting today, those pesky flies in the Imperial City won't be bothering us anymore. Hahaha..."

  He squeezed his eyes: "Because. Laozi has already lost the pot to others. Haha, this year, it's really not easy to find such a fool who dares to take the blame actively."

  Tatara suddenly came to his senses: those guys who had been harassing and ambushing Xia Ya in the Imperial City were just after "Xia Ya, the one who defeated Hastings' strong man" fame. Everyone wanted to defeat Xia Ya to raise their own value.

  But now it's different. Xia Ya has "lost to" Nigur, so it's equivalent to directly throwing this famous package to the poor Wang Cheng Si Xiu... If others want to raise their value, they will go find that guy who "defeated the master Xia Ya who can even defeat Blackstein" - Wang Cheng Si Xiu. Once his golden body is broken, Xia Ya will no longer be the target of those fame-seeking rogue warriors. And Nigur, who personally broke Xia Ya's golden body...

  Duoduo felt a chill in his heart as he thought about it more. He recalled Xia Ya's brilliant performance earlier, the "defeat" and the various genuine eyes of anger, resentment, and humiliation that followed. The magician couldn't help but sigh: "Old man, you're really shameless."

  Xia Ya smiled slightly: "Thank you. I take this as a compliment to me."
